Chapter 16
"First-time reward!"
Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the first-time reward.
The God's Stone is a reward that everyone gets when they first clear a dungeon. Zhang Yuan was not surprised by this, but the first-time reward for this dungeon actually gave him a cursed equipment, which was really a pleasant surprise.
With excitement, Zhang Yuan immediately checked his gains.
【Cursed Ring (special accessory): Spirit +500, the holder suffers a mental curse, Agility -250, Constitution -250, no equipment level limit】
【Note: One of the three cursed sets】
"It's a suit indeed!"
Zhang Yuan saw the effect of the Cursed Ring and equipped it without hesitation. Chi Xiao's passive was triggered, offsetting the negative effects of the Cursed Ring.
The spiritual attribute directly reached 1490, which is the attribute of a mage after level 30 job transfer!
"The last piece of the cursed three-piece set should be obtained in the hidden difficulty of this dungeon."
Zhang Yuan has already obtained two of the three-piece set, so there is no reason not to get the last piece.
What's more, he is a natural nemesis of this dungeon boss, so he can pass it without any damage.
After sorting out the spoils, Zhang Yuan left the dungeon, returned to reality, and challenged the dungeon again without hesitation.
【Please confirm your selection? Difficulty?】
""Confirmed!"
Zhang Yuan was teleported into the dungeon again, and found that the dungeon environment was no different from the nightmare difficulty.
However, before Zhang Yuan could move forward, a piercing scream suddenly came from the depths of the forest, and Chi Xiao's passive was directly triggered.
It was the mental storm of the Shadow Scarecrow!
"As expected of a hidden difficulty, I was attacked by the boss's mental attack right after entering. By the way... is the attack range of the Shadow Scarecrow so large?"
Zhang Yuan muttered to himself, unfolding the sword formation, using the flying sword to explore the way, and moving forward steadily.
Although he had already cleared the nightmare difficulty once, there might be new mechanisms in the hidden difficulty, so it is better to be careful.
Soon, Zhang Yuan encountered the first giant, and he used the Eye of the Abyss on the monster without hesitation.
【Shadow Forest Giant Warrior (Enhanced Elite)】
【Level: 15】
【Strength: 2000】
【Agility: 200】
【Spirit: 60】
【Physical fitness: 2000】
【Skills: Swing Axe, Trample]
Compared to the monsters in nightmare difficulty, the giant attributes in this hidden difficulty are doubled.
"This hidden difficulty is really dangerous. If I get hit, I will probably be killed instantly."
"Anyway, try the new skills first."
Zhang Yuan retreated a distance, kept a distance from the monster, and then used his new skills.
Mental Storm!
A shriek erupted from Zhang Yuan's necklace, and Zhang Yuan's spirit was instantly consumed by 500 points. The terrifying mental storm swept around.
-2610480!
A string of terrifying damage numbers appeared above the head of the Shadow Forest Giant Warrior not far away. The giant fell straight to the ground with blood gushing from all his orifices!
【Successfully killed the Shadow Forest Giant Warrior, experience +4000】
【Successfully killed the Shadow Forest Giant Vanguard, experience +5000】
【Successfully killed Shadow Mage, experience +8000】
【Obtained Giant Heart*10, Giant Nail*12, Giant Bone*10, Shadow Crystal*1]
In an instant, a large number of kill notifications flashed on the screen, and a golden light burst out of Zhang Yuan's body, and he was upgraded to level 14 on the spot
"hiss——！"
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but gasp as he saw his experience soaring into the sky like a rocket launch.
The effective range of the mental storm was actually the same as the range of his sword array, and it was also the same as the sword control skill, with the bonus of critical hits and explosion damage, plus the 10-fold increase in talent, and the damage superposition of constellation 4...
Once this skill is released, no one will be left alive within the 300-meter radius of the sword array!
For other mages, the mental storm may be a powerful large-scale group attack skill, and its value is not as good as the mages' own forbidden spells.
But this skill is placed on Zhang Yuan, with the damage superposition of constellation 4, this skill directly becomes a nuclear explosion!
Not only the mental storm, any group attack skill placed on Zhang Yuan will become a strategic-level forbidden spell!
Imagine, if in the later stage, the radius of the sword array is expanded to thousands of meters, then a mental storm will come, and for every additional enemy in the range of the sword array, the damage will be superimposed by 10%. In the sword array, I'm afraid that even gods will be killed by the storm!
"The only drawback of this skill is that it consumes mental power... I now have 1520 mental power points, and can only use it three times. If I use this skill to level up, unless the enemy density is very high, it is not as cost-effective as using the flying sword to attack more times."
After seeing the power and consumption of the mental storm, Zhang Yuan did not plan to continue using the mental storm in this dungeon, and used the flying sword to clear the way.
Although the attributes of the monsters in the hidden difficulty have been greatly enhanced, under the feature of Zhang Yuan ignoring the enemy's defense, those monsters still cannot withstand Zhang Yuan's swords and cannot get close to him.
Zhang Yuan leveled up while moving forward. When he came to the altar deep in the Shadow Forest, he had already reached level 15.
"I didn't expect that the hidden difficulty of this dungeon would become my holy land for leveling up."
Zhang Yuan saw the scarecrow in the center of the altar and was about to use the Eye of the Abyss on the scarecrow when a large number of purple bubbles suddenly appeared in the altar.
The scarecrow suddenly twisted strangely, opened its bloody mouth, and emitted a mental storm that was several times stronger than before!
""Ahhhhhhhh!"
The scarecrow's piercing scream set off a terrifying sound wave, lifting up the ground around the altar. Even though Zhang Yuan was protected by Chi Xiao, he was still knocked back several steps by the sound wave.
Zhang Yuan immediately used the Eye of the Abyss on the scarecrow.
【Corrupted Abyss Scarecrow (Lord)】
【Level: 16】
【Strength: 0】
【Agility: 0】
【Spirit: 200000】
【Constitution: 0】
【Skills: Mental Storm, Death Curse, Resurrection】
"200,000 spirits?"Zhang Yuan's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the boss's attributes!
No matter how abnormal the hidden difficulty is, it shouldn't increase the boss's attributes by 20 times, right? In this level 15 dungeon, if a level 30 elite team comes here without preparation, they will be wiped out instantly, right?
"No... Corrupted Abyss Scarecrow, isn't this the same as the Corrupted Cyclops King? Am I in Abyss Raiders mode again?"
Zhang Yuan found that the name of the scarecrow had changed this time, and his expression instantly became extremely exciting.
Didn't they say that the probability of a dungeon becoming Abyss is less than 1%?
This was only the second day after he changed his job, and he had only challenged two dungeons in total, but both of them turned into Abyss?
Was this bad luck or good luck?
